I joined the ships list. They talked about size of ships and cargo,
etc., little else. They did post urls to lists of ships. Good if you
have the name. TheShipsList-L(a)rootsweb.com
Then I joined the mariners list. Much better for finding people.
Mariners-L(a)rootsweb.com
Also I joined the pirates list. (; Some people don'e believe in them.
PIRATES-L(a)rootsweb.com
Then, I am on the Shipwrecks list. Divers and treasure hunters. (:
SHIPWRECK-L(a)rootsweb.com
Actually these urls came from one or the other of the others. So in
many ways they are helpful.
I did enjoy the ships list especially the little trips around the docks
of Liverpool by d.a.h.yates. They are precious.

Patience Northern just mentioned that she has a gggf who was
supposedly
(maybe) lost at sea. How does one go about trying to find out about such
things? I have a g...gf Daniel Driscoll who was also supposedly lost at sea
around 1750-1760 and I have no idea where to begin looking. Does anyone have
any idea about a starting point?
Thanks!
